Each year Matagorda County United Way asks our Funded agencies to nominate a volunteer from their organization who has done an outstanding job for their organization, whether it be number of hours volunteered, taking on a new program or project or bringing something unique to their organization. Then Matagorda County United Way committee members selects a Volunteer of the year out of the nominees and announces them at the Annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon.
